Bath Escape Room Games

The “Fresh” Way To Experience Bath Escape Rooms

Time to defy the status quo, Bath - your escape rooms have never looked anything like this!

Until now, Bath’s curious, quick-witted and creative brains have been trapped behind doors, confined to opening hours and incarcerated within four walls.

But not anymore! 

Prepare to take on new challenges, puzzles and fiddly riddles to uncover Bath’s many mysteries…

At CityDays, we create escape rooms in Bath and around the world that reveal more than just your competitive streak. 

You still get all the puzzles, riddles, cryptic clues and challenges of a traditional escape room – but instead of being cooped up inside, we take the games outdoors. 

No doors. No ceilings. No specific time slots. No hassle. That’s the CityDays way!

Urban Escape Rooms Bath: An Outdoor Extravaganza

Just so you know, CityDays’ escape room games aren’t like typical escape rooms.

First of all, they take place outdoors, so there’s no physical barriers in place you’re required to break down. 

Instead, we transform the City of Bath into a playground with a variety of puzzles, riddles and challenges based on the city in question. The clues will be based on anything from unique street furniture to sculptures, art, plaques, building quirks - you name it! 

You’ll have to use your powers of deduction, wit and guile to complete the game. Brains, not brawn, will win you top spot on the leaderboard.

Thirdly, our Bath escape rooms offer a bit more freedom than traditional ones. We include optional pub or café breaks along the way (you’ll walk a total of 3 miles by the end of it!), you’re free to start and pause the game whenever it’s convenient for you, and the games can be played by people of all ages. 

We embrace the challenges that come along with creating outdoor escape rooms in Bath, and as it happens, there are also quite a few benefits. Here are a few off the top of our heads…

Your Escape “Room” is Bigger:

When you aren’t confined to just one room or building, the world really does become your oyster. Instead of being locked up in a tiny space, we get you racing through Bath’s city streets which are filled with hidden secrets, odd passageways and murky mysteries! 

The Choice is Yours: Since we don’t physically occupy a building, we won’t restrict you to opening hours or available booking slots. You decide when you play - not us (although we do recommend playing during daylight hours. Some of our clues can be difficult to spot when it’s dark!). Otherwise, it’s entirely up to you. 

Play With Who You Want: Again, Bath is your playground so whether you want to play on your own or with five hundred (or even more!) people, we can accommodate you! For groups of over 8 people, we recommend splitting into teams and going head-to-head: it makes it more fun if everyone can read the clues and hey, who doesn’t love a competitive element… 

Just reach out if you need a hand! 

Anyone Can Play: People of all ages from all walks of life have enjoyed our escape room games, and we’re looking forward to adding your team name to our roster. You don’t need any prior experience or knowledge - everything you need to crack the case is somewhere right in front of you…

A Varied Selection of Puzzles: Who knew that Bath was so “riddled” with mysteries? Well, we did. And you’re about to find out! You’ll encounter puzzles, riddles, tasks and challenges on our routes that have been designed to get you observing and interacting with your surroundings in a unique way. 

How CityDays’ Bath Escape Rooms Work

Since our Bath escape “rooms” are held outdoors, they’re “built” slightly differently. After all, since there are no rooms or physical barriers to get through, you might be wondering what the object of the game is…

Well, it’s really very simple. 

You and your team start at a chosen location (depending on which trail you pick). 

From there, you have to complete a set of tasks, puzzles and riddles, deciphering clues to take you to your next location, sent to your phone(s) via WhatsApp. If you don’t give us the right answer, you can’t move on in the game!

When you’ve sent us the correct answer, you’ll be given new clues and challenges to lead you to your next destination. Each location is located a short walking distance away, and may require you to keep your eyes peeled for possible clues along the way…

Once you’ve answered all our clues, visited all the destinations and completed the trail, we’ll tally up your score. This is based on how many correct answers you got, any time penalties you accrued, and how many hints you asked for. 

All you need to play our games is a phone with Whatsapp or Telegram, access to cellular data and a pair of comfy shoes. That’s it!

Any questions? Here’s how it works.
